Stopped: Van Persie is pulled over by the police

Robin van Persie was stopped by police on Thursday morning on his way to the Manchester United training ground.
The Dutchman was driving on the M60 in his Range Rover, when he was pulled over by Greater Manchester Police.
He was spoken to by a female officer, before being let on his way without a warning to join the rest of his United team-mates.

 

Van Persie scored from the penalty spot in the Red Devils' 3-1 victory over Burnley on Wednesday evening.
However, he is a major doubt for their fifth round FA Cup tie with Preston at Deepdale on Monday night.
Van Persie's compatriot Daley Blind was forced off in the Burnley victory, as was defender Phil Jones, and the trio could all miss the trip to Preston.

 

United boss Louis van Gaal said: "Jones is not a heavy injury but it will be difficult for him.
"We’ll have to wait and see how Blind recovers and Van Persie has something. I gave the players the day off (on Friday) and only the injured players are in."
